Super Sunday........

Good Morning Readers,

Well it is another lovely day here in Cornwall, thought at one point it was going to rain..... but the clouds went and left a blue sky, well after I had done the usual up at the yard this morning, popped in to see my Son Stevie, and my Grandson Jacob Simon,my Daughter in Law was working she is a Theatre Nurse at Treliske Hospital, my daughter Hazel was there, which was nice as I have not seen much of her lately, we seem to cross paths, with work an all,  now my regular readers will know that my Son and family, and my Daughter Hazel Stevie's Big Sister, who is living with them for a while, as her marriage has broke down....... have moved in to a huge house, with the most amazing views, and when I say huge I mean Huge, you could get lost in the rooms, but it had been empty for two years prior to them moving in, so did need a fair bit of work doing to it....... it is a beautiful house, with many of the original features still there, the house is two hundred years old...... and even has it's own staircase to the attic...... well Stevie has been working very hard trying to get it sorted, but we all now what it's like when you have a young baby and you both work..... so he has been doing bits as and when he can, I think he is getting frustrated because he want's it all done and finished, but he is doing a grand job, and when it is finished it will be an amazing family home...... below is some pics I took this morning....... well I ma off to do some crafting after I have done a bit around the house, so you will probably be hearing from me again.....

ATC's With Attitude Challenge # 46 Relax............

Good Afternoon Readers,

First of all I would like to welcome Barb Murphy, thank you Barb for taking the time to join my blog, I do hope you will pop back from time to time, well, the weather here today is not as sunny as yesterday, but still very pleasant, not as hot of late....... and I am very pleased to say, I have my Noah back ( Name of my Truck ) hubby myself and rabble all went over to pick him up last night, and he is now back in his rightful place....... well up with the lark's again this morning, and of up to the yard to see my boy Ace of Spades, who I have not seen since Sunday........ hubby has been going up each morning to sort him out for me, and then giving me the lowdown on him when I ring him at work to find out how he is, but today it was me, and the sheer look of horror on Ace's face when he saw me, I am sure I heard him mumble, oh no that means I will have to do some work, were's daddy.......... so yes Ace did have to do some work, as I rode him, and yes of course Ace being Ace, who I must just tell you has an attitude when he want's one, threw a temper tantrum........ so after a couple of bucks, he decided he was not going to get the better of me, and decided to give in....... and we ended up having a lovely time, once Ace was back in his stable,  I run the rabble on the fields, had a coffee with the girls and returned home, and I must say it was nice to drive back with my driver window wide open, and not watching pedestrians running for cover, thinking we were being invaded by tanks when they heard me coming, as Noah now has a sparkling new and quite exhaust........And when I switched on my computer when I got in , I found out I had come in the top three over on attitudewithatcs. so thank you ladies, and below is my entry for the new challenge.....
